very little more than that of Waddell's
bottled beer, which is so popular in
this county. The idea of utilizing
what had heretofore been regarded as
an annoyance, came to Mr.. Nibecker
in singular manner, through an in.
discreet attack made by the ants on a
house in Luning occupied by the tele.

by the USE OF chloroform. 1t was a

The New school District.

Upon petition of the citizens the
County Commissioners established
new boundaries for this school district.
The new boundaries are as follows:
Beginning at the center of section

East; Thence, running north four
miles to center of section 1, Township
s, North, Range 30 East; Thence,
east eight miles to center of section 3,
Township 8, North, Range 81 East :;
Thence, South eight miles to center Of
section II, Township :, North, Range

center Of section ID, Township 7,

A Genial RESTORATIVE.

Hostetter's stomach Bilters are emphatic-
ally genial restorative. The changes which
this great botanic remedy produces in the
disordered organization are always agree
ably, though surely progressive, never abrupt
and violent. On this account it is admirably
adapted TO persons of delicate constitution
and weak nerves, to whom the powerful min
eral drugs are positively injurious. That it
initiates those processes which result in the
re-establishment of healthlul yigor is con-
spicuously shown in cases where IL is taken
to overcome that fruitful cause of debility,
indigestion, coupled, as it usually is, with
biiiousness and constipation. Thorough di-
gestion, regular evacuation and abundant
secretion, are results which promptly and in
yariably attend its systematic use. 1t is, be-
sides, the best protective against malaria,
and u lirst-rate dluretlc.
